Moving Islamic Center 'Not' On the Table for Now, Backer Says
ABC News ^ | 8/22/2010 | Joshua Miller

Posted on 08/22/2010 4:46:03 PM PDT by Qbert

In an exclusive interview on "This Week," Daisy Khan, one of the main backers of the mosque and Islamic community center near ground zero, told Christiane Amanpour that moving the project to another site is not currently an option they are considering.

"So is moving [the center] on the table still?" Amanpour asked.

"Right now it's not until we consult with all our stakeholders," Khan said.

Amanpour asked Khan if America was Islamophobic.

"This is like a metastasized anti-Semitism, that's what we feel right now," Khan said. "It's not even Islamophobia, it's beyond Islamophobia; it's hate of Muslims. And we are deeply concerned."

--Project Moving Forward?

Khan said that the project would move forward.

"Do you think it will go ahead?" Amanpour asked.

"There is too much at stake. We have to go ahead with this project," Khan said.

It doesn’t matter where the mosque is built. The underlying problem will remain wherever it is located. Islam is a violent political ideology that is intent on replacing the Constitution with Sharia law. Mosques are breeding grounds for this movement.

Daisy should put on a burqua and go live in ‘POCKEESTAHN’ for the real live muzzie experience.

The Amanpour slut too.

for the UNknowing...

This is not a multicultural issue....its far greater

Here in this issue, we get to see the power of Sharia. Cash coming in from Iran, Saudiland etc etc even Pakistan.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, a economic system (which includes funding new mosque construction), its judicial...all wrapped up in the word sharia. This is inclusive of its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
Islam is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace. Globally.

When the founding fathers thought of America, their little baby, the last thing they wanted was an invasive force to stifle, smother it, and then overwhelm it and kill it.

The sooner America learns this , the better.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

For all interested...Wanna learn more?

Lets keep America, America!

The other nations suffer the same problems....

Muslims have no respect for others and I have no tolerance for that.

Hey Daisy, go try to build a Christian church or synagogue in Saudi Arabia, or any other Muslim country for that matter. How deeply concerned are you about that?

"Right now it's not until we consult with all our stakeholders," Khan said.

So she actually acknowledges that there are "stakeholders" who are calling the shots. And who might these stakeholders be?

Ha ha - just read how Bloomberg got all defensive when a badly-brought-up reporter asked that question. HOW DARE YOU ASK WHERE THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM? THIS IS AN INSULT, AN OUTRAGE!

Boy! Those Islamists (political Islam, Sharia Law advocates) love to yank the junkyard dogs’ chains. That’s kind of stupid it seems to me. Oh well.

These Muslims are a curse upon civilization. This is all about doing a victory lap on the graves of 3000 dead Americans.

Hatred of muslims? Let's see. You build a mosque near the site where your people killed 3000 of ours. You insist on opening this abomination on the 10th anniversary of your attack on our people. Your husband goes on tour on our dime to promote sharia.

And you wonder why we feel rubbed the wrong way.

Funny how Pelosi wants to investigate where the “funding” is supposedly coming for those who dare to oppose the mosque, yet everybody in the MSM/journolista media wants to avoid that simple question...

The guy on the right looks like he just came off the set of an auto insurance commercial.

The way this has grabbed headlines and become a political football, the time for compromise on either side has long since passed. If they move it then they lose. If they stand their ground then they win. Nobody likes to lose.
